Clear It Out Challenge - Kids & Bright Colors!

------

FIRSTLY - if you arrived here hoping to download some of my FREE files, and they do not work, please be patient. Seems the service I was using (Ge.tt) got up and went (I did recall something about them selling) Well it has kind of created a nightmare for me. I need to re-upload the files (I will use my Google Drive) but it will take some time. If there is a file you particularly need or want, please send me an email request at lalalime(at)hotmail{dot}com Thank you!

I was thrilled to find this fun challenge because I hardly ever seem to make children themed cards and I bought a fun 6 x 6 pad like 6 months ago, expressly for that. Here’s the challenge:

Can you see how fun this is? So, the main “rocket” element (the biggie) is not part of the pad, actually. The background is what I started with. I found another paper that matched closely in the colors already present in the background paper. I then drew the rocket onto it freehand!

Then I shaded the rocket in using my Tombow markers, added some lines to make the “supports?” look 3d. Next, I added foil bits and some jazzy big gems onto the side.

And as for a sentiment, I printed and cut some text using my Cameo (not using the sketch pens) and then I popped them on tags under the side of the rocket. I enhanced the BLAST by backing it with more sparkly red (can’t have too much sparkle or color on a kid’s card, eh?) and then backing it and the rocket both with foam tape.
